What's going on with some photos not displaying?

[Simon Barden]

Recently there seems to be a lot of pics which aren't displaying, but showing as "attachment abxyz". When clicked on, there's a message that says "Invalid Attachment specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator".

Getting these on posts from experienced members as well as new ones.

E.g. http://www.buildyourownguitar.com.au...l=1#post178638

Any reason we know for this?

I reckon it's due to a forum 'upgrade'.
Therefore two steps forward and one step back.
Started to get a notice when a new post has been uploaded.

cheers, Mark.

Seems okay here...

That's a remotely hosted photo. Seems to be a problem with ones uploaded and hosted on the forum.

Seems to be working now?

I can see that as a thumbnail, but what about the one of Frankie's that I put the link up for? The forum won't allow you to upload images that are too big (pixels or memory), and doesn't seem to have an issue with remotely hosted images. Yet the one in FW's post has an attachment number which says to me that it's been uploaded and so accepted.

That happened to me on a reply last week, Simon. Posted a photo with my reply, but it wouldn't show in the post other than "attachmentxyz".

I still personally think Imgur is the way to go. I have the app on my phone. So I photograph and upload, then when I sit down to post they are all there in my library for linking. Works for me anyway.
